A patch that fixes ./config was merged to the 1.0.2 branch earlier
today.  Commit 5c57fbb8ca991e8db7ce23174613898a27ca3fcb.  It's a
backport of the corresponding patch in master.  It's a very small
change, I'd be surprised if you can't edit that particular one from
your scripts.

1.0.2 is on long term support, see
http://openssl.org/policies/releasestrat.html.  That means that
reasonable fixes might very well go in.  Sorry if that becomes a
bother.
